Lilies and Other Bulbs 
PLANT LILIES for SUMMER SPLENDOR 
Lilies, long known as "Garden Aristocrats,’’ delight all beholders with their stately 
beauty. They are indispensable for summer bloom. Fortunately, for the garden owner, 
different species flower at different times, so that it is possible to have blooms from June 
until September from bulbs all planted at the same time. We recommend generous plant¬ 
ings so that you will have flowers for cutting as well as for display. Most lilies should be 
planted about 8 inches deep. When freezing weather sets in, cover the planted soil with 
leaves or other light litter to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. 
All the varieties listed below are perfectly hardy and most of them are of the easiest 
culture. (See lily-planting chart, page 29)

Wild Tulips Making A 
Great Hit. 
Our mail order sales to date from our 
newspaper advertising and from our 
price list without any illustrations 
colored or otherwise, are a most interest¬ 
ing revelation as to the selections people 
make without pressure. While it would 
be revealing a trade secret here to give 
a detailed analysis of our sales to date, 
there is this startling fact: the sales of 
three of the wild or species tulips are 
more than one-third those of the three 
leaders among the Darwins, Breeders and 
Cottage, and considerably ahead of many 
varieties of these cultivated or improved 
types. Very striking too have been the 
sales of camassias and ixias, two of the 
most popular of the smaller bulbs and 
especially prized for cut flowers. From 
the very start Cheerfulness took the lead 
among the daffodils and is still many 
jumps ahead of any other variety.
